Özet:

 As its institutional structure and powerful presence of more than three hundred years in Southern Russia  Caucasia zone, the Khazar Qaganate was one of the most prominent Turkic state in history. The issue of the adoption of new universal religions by the Eurasian steppe nomads was a common situation. But in a time period when the Islam spread of rapidly and the Muslim  Christian conflict had begun to be flourished intensely, the conversion of Khazar royal elites to Judaism made their history much more remarkable. Here, we would not to examine the questions on why-how-when did the Khazars embrace the Judaism; but to try to illuminate the issues about their ruling system, so-called Dual KingshipRoyal Diarchy or Sacral Kingship by researchers, which is one of the most striking feature of the political structure of the Khazar Judaism. Although this model does not match the functional structure of the Qaganal office observed in the old Turkic steppe tradition which scholars generally relate to the äbeb Qagan andor Yabgu Qagan modelsin particular Gök Türk administrative structure  the dual kingshiproyal diarchy sacral kingship of Khazar Qaganate has been interpreted as a traditional but also a unique system. In this article, by the way on the clues obtained from written sources it has been hypothesized that this unique model of the Khazars Royal Diarchy Sacral Kingship was probably a TaNaKh-based Judaic form, inheriting only some symbolic essences from old Altaic-Turkic origin steppe-state motifs.

 Üç yüz yılı aşkın kurumsal yapısı ve Güney RusyaKafkasya kuşağındaki güçlü varlığıyla Hazar Kağanlığı,tarihteki en önemli Türk devletlerinden biridir. Avrasya bozkır göçebelerinin evrensel dinleri benimsemesi meselesi sıradan bir durum olmakla beraber İslam dininin hızla yayıldığı ve MüslümanHristiyan çatışmasının tohumlarının yoğun bir şekilde yeşerdiği bir dönemde, Hazar elitlerinin Yahudiğili benimsemesi onların tarihini daha da dikkat çekici bir hale getirmektedir. Biz burada Hazarların neden-nasıl-ne zaman Yahudiliği benimsediği sorularına cevap aramaktan ziyade, Hazar siyasi yapısının en çarpıcı hususiyetlerinden biri olan ve araştırmacılar tarafından İkili Krallık ya da İlahi Krallık adı verilen yönetim sistemleriyle ilgili meseleleri açıklığa kavuşturmaya çalışacağız. Eski Türk bozkır geleneğindeki Kağanlık müessesesinde rastlamadığımız bu hususi yapı, bilim çevrelerince genellikle Gök Türklerdeki äbeb ev Kağan veveya Yabgu Kağan modeliyle benzeştirilmiş; buna rağmen söz konusu bu İkili Krallık Kutsal Krallık geleneksel ve aynı zamanda nevi şahsına münhasır bir model olarak yorumlanmıştır. Bu makalede, yazılı kaynaklardaki ipuçlarından yola çıkılarak bu benzersiz modelin, kadim Altay-Türk bozkır devlet motiflerinden yanlızca sembolik bazı öğeler barındıran, muhtemelen TaNaKh temelli bir yönetim formu olduğu hipotize edilmektedir.
